Software Collections

Software Collections is another Redhat-supported project for installing newer software on older enterprise distributions. See https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/ for more information

Redhat's Developer Toolset (see CheatSheet/Gcc) is available as a Software Collection, and apparently is the preferred way to use it.

For example, Redhat-supplied Python 3.5 w/ pip: 

   1 yum install -y centos-release-scl-rh
   2 yum install -y rh-python35 rh-python35-python-pip
   3 source scl_source enable rh-python35
